Where are the QR scans stored on my phone?

After I have saved the scan, the storage location is flashed too fast for me to read it - so I can't find where the code is stored?

What is the QR Code supposed to be linked to or what is it's purpose? Knowing this would make it easier to find.

If it is a file, it would be located in the Files on your device. If it is for a Web page it should open this for you. If it is for a WiFi Network, it should connect you to it.

Most devices have a recent section in their relevant Files app or the ability to sort by Date.

Hi @NorthTower

If you took a screenshot then it will be in your gallery.

Thanks

A QR code is often (but not always) just a shortcut to a weblink. In which case, the weblink should be in your browser history.

If you're using your phone's inbuilt camera function to photograph the QR code, it may have a history function. I sometimes use a specific QR-reader app that I've just got used to over the years - it has an in-built history function, but yours may vary.
